Enterprises are moving to a software-defined, private cloud data center model for agility, operational efficiency, and a self-service approach to deploying applications and associated services. They are utilizing a two-tier hybrid services architecture to get the benefits of specialized hardware for front door network services and scalable software for application, stack-specific services. Read this whitepaper to learn how to integrate the necessary services with the orchestration and automation systems of a software-defined data center.

To succeed in this dynamic environment, organizations must create networks that combine core layer 4-7 functionality, programmability, and application fluency into a scalable Application Delivery Network. While these components all bring their individual benefits, the real lasting value lies in the resulting synergy of the combined solution. Read this whitepaper to learn about the five advantages of F5 when evaluating a replacement for Cisco ACE.

To meet the challenges of IT organizations, Cisco and F5 have developed a shared architectural vision and joint solution to simplify networking and solve pain points in next-generation data centers. The solution extends the F5 Synthesis architecture and programmable Software-Defined Application Services (SDAS) within the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), helping customers efficiently deliver applications that are fast, secure and available.

If you’re like most corrugated packaging manufacturers, your company operates multiple plants where each plant uses a different enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This arrangement of multiple ERP systems could be costing you valuable time and money and promoting inefficiencies such as manual data entry.

Many organizations are seeing clear and quantifiable benefits from the deployment of mobile technologies that provide access to data and applications any time, anywhere. These benefits often include increased profits, a more efficient and productive workforce, and enhanced customer service.

Seeking to gain a competitive advantage with increased business agility, global consulting engineering construction and operations company CDM Smith decided to transform their current network architecture, leverage a hybrid cloud model to gain access to new dynamic workloads and introduce greater global consistency. By choosing an integrated solution designed by Equinix and partner CFN Services, CDM Smith now has a flexible network model that is application-focused, scalable and cost-effective.

The client had an extensive global multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network with over 30 Gbps of bandwidth. However, the client was experiencing bandwidth growth of >30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and foresaw increasing demands for multi-media applications, data center to data center traffic, and cloud solution usage to support its business units and global workforce. It became crucial for the client to re-architect their
current network to support growth and provide a globally consistent user experience at lower cost. With 40% of their WAN traffic being http internet traffic, they needed regional internet
service provider (ISP) breakouts.
The client needed a lower cost/MB high capacity WAN backbone for better application performance and cloud optimization. Their network needed to be scalable to poise them for anticipated growth and offer improved site connectivity options.

A leading U.S.-based financial services firm was faced with the growing challenge of providing consistent application performance to a vast employee base and nationwide network of partners. The company turned to Equinix to help redesign its network, both to
improve performance and prepare for a move to a cloud-enabled environment. Equinix worked with the firm to deploy bi-coastal Equinix Performance Hubs, extension nodes of the company’s existing network placed in strategically located Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers. A Performance Hub moves services closer to end users and provides direct access to networks and cloud providers. By deploying
Performance Hubs, the customer created a high-performance services platform for its business. The result was a dramatic decrease in network latency, improvements in application performance and an enhanced user experience.

With the explosion of cloud traffic growth, demands on enterprise networks are changing fast. Fortunately, we have a solution.
Equinix Performance Hub can improve the performance of your entire network — and give your users the experience they’re demanding — while simplifying your infrastructure. This infopaper will show you how to take advantage of all the benefits Performance Hub has to offer.

A powerful but radically different version of the Web’s defining standard is coming soon and new research suggests many IT departments aren’t ready. While HTTP/2 enables dramatic improvements to both the speed and security of mission-critical Web applications, most companies are likely to find deploying it a complex and time-consuming task. An exclusive new survey from IDG Research reveals that large numbers of IT professionals know little about the new protocol or the technical challenges it can present and even fewer have a strategy in place for collecting HTTP/2’s considerable benefits without suffering its potential pitfalls.

In typical organizations, most data resides outside the data center, so it is important that the protection of desktop and laptop computers is given the same priority as file servers and application servers. Have you deployed the right data protection strategy for endpoints?
We’re here to help! Arcserve UDP offers a FREE Workstation edition product that specifically focuses on backing up data on endpoints.
Not only can desktops and laptops be protected for FREE with award-winning technology that minimizes bandwidth and storage requirements, but they can participate in the global deduplication schema offered by UDP (for 30 days), and have their data protected in public and private clouds, and more!
This is too good to pass up! Get your FREE Arcserve UDP Workstation edition now.

Organizations in every industry rely on applications to drive customer engagement, employee productivity and revenue. Deployed between users and the applications are a wide variety of “application services” designed to enhance security, improve performance and ensure reliability. F5 set out to evaluate the state of these services by asking IT professionals about their current and planned use of application services. Read the report to learn which strategic initiatives are driving application deployments including the most important trend for the next 2-5 years.

In this article, F5's Karl Triebes and VMware's Kit Colbert share their perspectives on where the market is headed, and how IT organizations can stay ahead of the curve when it comes to securing apps in a mobility-focused world.

The new requirements for application delivery mean adopting the principles behind cloud, DevOps, and SDN, and enabling emerging security models. Now you must provision apps in minutes instead of months, and with significantly reduced operational costs. Read this whitepaper to learn how you can manage every delivery aspect of users, applications, systems and infrastructure with an elastic, dynamic infrastructure designed to support these requirements.
